Nebula

This was forked from https://github.com/buildsociety/nebula

Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security. It lets you seamlessly connect computers anywhere in the world. Nebula is portable, and runs on Linux, OSX, and Windows. (Also: keep this quiet, but we have an early prototype running on iOS). It can be used to connect a small number of computers, but is also able to connect tens of thousands of computers.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here.

Simply pulling buildsociety/nebula should retrieve the correct image for your arch.

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

Tag Description
latest Stable Nebula Releases
v1.8.2 Nebula 1.8.2 Release
v1.7.2 Nebula 1.7.2 Release

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker pull buildsociety/nebula:latest

and

docker run -td --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device=/dev/net/tun -v /path/to/config:/config --name nebula buildsociety/nebula:latest

or as a privileged container:

docker run -td --privileged -v /path/to/config:/config --name nebula buildsociety/nebula:latest

User documentation for Nebula can be found at https://github.com/slackhq/nebula#readme

Kubernetes Sidecar

For testing, you can use a ConfigMap, but for production it is better to use secrets.

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: 'nebula-conf'
data:
  nebula.conf: |
    # You can insert your config.yaml here.
    # You can/need also insert certificates here,
    # as in the example below.
    pki:
      ca: |
        -----BEGIN NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----
        certificate data
        -----END NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----
      cert: |
        -----BEGIN NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----
        certificate data
        -----END NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----
      key: |
        -----BEGIN NEBULA X25519 PRIVATE KEY-----
        certificate data
        -----END NEBULA X25519 PRIVATE KEY-----
    # the rest of the config file.

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter Function
-v /config Nebula configuration directory.

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it nebula /bin/sh
  • To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f nebula
  • container version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nebula
  • image version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' buildsociety/nebula

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. We do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container.

An automated process for upgrading your container is available via containrrr/watchtower.
